The MQAM uses two asynchronous interface (ASI) input ports to receive data from
the following types of DVB ASI-compliant transmitting devices:
VOD Server
PowerVu Plus
Multiple Decryption Receiver (MDR)
Grooming BIG
SONET-ASI Interface
These ports conform to the DVB document A010. The DVB ASI Input ports are BNC-

for the input of MPEG-2 TS data at a maximum rate of 216 Mbps.
